The rain came suddenly, and the thunder was evil! It is said that heaven and man are sensitive, and there must be major events when the wind and clouds change abruptly, and Zhao Ta's premonition is also effective, when he looks at the heavy rain and thinks about it, there is a suppressed cry from the tent of Jin Junshuai, and the Bodhisattva Prince Han is not called back by the Buddha to be a disciple.

"Ceres, what should I do?" Wanyan Zongqi cried for a while, stopped his sad voice and asked.

"Follow the commander's orders, and break through tonight!" Wanyan Xiyin wiped the tears on his face and said in a hoarse voice.

"What about the big handsome?" After Yan Zongqi looked at Han Li, who was upright on the couch, he asked.

"Don't mourn secretly, in the name of the marshal, send an order, dispose of the marshal's body, we must send him home!" Wanyan Xiyin said, "The news of the handsome immortal's departure is not allowed to be leaked, otherwise there will be no forgiveness!" He turned his face to the few soldiers and the healing shaman in the tent, and said with a hideous expression.

"Yes!" The people in the tent whispered, now that the marshal is gone, then the army will be headed by Wanyan Xiyin...

Then Wanyan Xiyin ordered all the armies in the name of Han Li, and the whole army had a full meal and broke through tonight. The direction of the Jin army's breakthrough was chosen in the northeast, first, Zong Han's army could be met in Hejian, and Hejian Fu and Xin'an Army were under the control of the Jin army, and the way home was quite smooth; In order to lure Zong Han into the bait, another Song army only arranged three dragoon brigades, and the strength was relatively weak compared to other directions, which was convenient for breaking through.

God seems to be on the side of the Jin Army today, the rain has not stopped since the afternoon, and the Milky Way is pouring crazy as if the floodgates have been opened. The darkness and heavy rain gave the Jin army the best cover, but their road was not a smooth road, and there were three rivers in front of them, Huaishui, Hushui and Jiushui.

If it is usually for the Jurchens who are good at 'floating horses', it is really not a big deal. But now the river is swollen with a sudden rainstorm, and it is crossing in the dark. It's also an adventure for them. But Wanyan Xiyin couldn't take care of a lot anymore, and the coach's illness and death couldn't be hidden for too long. Once it is rumored, it will inevitably cause the morale of the army to be shaken, and such weather makes it difficult for them to move, and it is also an obstacle for the Song army, so he decided to take a desperate gamble.

………

When Zhao Ta received the news of the Jin army's breakthrough, things were already in a hurry, and before the flood in the upper reaches came down, they had already crossed the Huaishui and the Huanshui while it was dark, and they were discovered by Zhao Yong's troops on the east bank when they crossed the sleeping water first. They had been on guard against the Zonghan Department, and suddenly the Jin army appeared on their backs, which caught them off guard, and what was even more troublesome was that the hussars were also heavy horses. By the time they were dressed neatly, the Jin army had already rushed over.

The two armies fought fiercely in the dark and rainy night, and in the face of the large number of Jin troops swarming, the hussars did not have the advantage at the moment, first, they could not use the group charge that they were good at; the second is that the riding spear that they are proud of has become the biggest burden, and it cannot be used at all in the melee; Then there is the fact that most of the hussars are not equipped with repeater guns, and only have revolvers with limited range in their hands, and their firepower is greatly reduced.

Zhao Ta's side was also a roaming scout, only to find that the Jin army had broken through at night and hurriedly reported back when he heard the gunshots. After receiving the news of the Jin army's breakthrough, Zhao Lian ordered the whole army to fight, and at the same time ordered the scouts to arrive to reconnoiter and verify the situation, and he hurriedly reported to the prince. Please advise on what to do.

"Zhao Lian, now tell Zhao Yong to do his best to stop the Jin army that crossed the water, and pester them to hold out until the army arrives; Command the Tiger of Flat Thorn City to mobilize all the forces he can. crossed the Anji Bridge to pursue and stop the rear army of the Jin army; The wolves will quickly assemble. Drive to Zhaozhou, and climb before dawn! Zhao Tan pointed to the map and said. The tone is rarely harsh.

"Order the baggage brigade and the engineering teams of all departments to quickly erect pontoon bridges on the river, Jishui, and sleeping water to ensure that the troops can quickly cross the river!"

"Yes, Second Master!" Every time the prince gave an order, Zhao Lian immediately sent his own soldiers to pass the order, and the whole army quickly mobilized to obey the situation.

"Second master, the lion general is nearby, why don't you mobilize them to pursue, but let the wolf general pursue!" Zhao Lian asked with some puzzlement.

"If Han can't run away, Zong Han will have no scruples, and he will retreat immediately!" Zhao Ta looked at the map and said.

"Second master, I'm afraid it's too late, right?" Now that the two armies are two hundred miles apart, it is difficult for Zong Han to catch up with all his strength.

"Immediately mobilize the armies and volunteers of Dingzhou and Baozhou to march eastward immediately, capture the Baoding army and hold it, and cut off the retreat of the Jin army!" Zhao Ta clicked heavily on the map and said, "The lion will take three days of supplies and forcibly march towards the Baoding army, even if the horses run to death, they must also catch the Jin army, and they must not be allowed to escape back to Yanjing Mansion safely!" ”

"Second master, the Dingzhou army is mostly an infantry army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to intercept the Jin army, it's better to concentrate forces to annihilate it all the way!" Zhao Lian thought for a while and said.

"Han Li's troops have been injured by us, and now they are bent on retreating, the army's spirit will inevitably be scattered, and it will be difficult to fight again, and the Wuma Mountain Righteous Army and reinforcements from all over the country are enough to deal with it. As long as Zonghan's department can be blocked, after completing the task of destroying the enemy here, he will quickly march north to join the battle of encircling and annihilating Zonghan. Zhao Ta said, "You are here to command the battle to annihilate Han Li, I will take the lion general to the Baoding army, the battle here is over, you quickly lead the army to reinforce!" ”

"Second master, your identity is different now, you can't be in danger, it's better for your subordinates to lead the army!" Zhao Lian hurriedly dissuaded when he heard this.

"Zhao Lian, I'll go with the second master, I'm always relieved!" At this time, Zhao Xin came over neatly and said, she understood the prince's mind very well, this battle is not only related to the direction of the Great Song Dynasty in the next few years, but also related to whether a series of measures can be implemented smoothly after the prince took power, and he wants to take the victory of this battle as the foundation laying ceremony for his enthronement, deter those who have illusions in the court, and reduce the resistance after taking power.

"Alas, it's okay, I'll rush to Zhaozhou immediately, and the second master will be handed over to you!" Zhao Lian knew that he couldn't resist the prince, so he could only reluctantly agree...

………

Wanyan Xiyin wiped the rain from his face, and they took advantage of the darkness to swim across two rivers in a row, and were discovered by the Song army when they crossed the water, and a fierce battle broke out between the two armies. Since they came prepared, several interceptions by the Song army were rushed away. But with the arrival of Song reinforcements, they stabilized their position, and the two armies fought on the riverbank.

The heavy rain and darkness have become the biggest enemies of the warring sides at this moment, and the battle organized quickly turned into a melee, you have me, I have you, the soldiers can't find the soldiers, the soldiers can't find the generals, and the fight has become a pot of porridge, and they can't be separated if they want to. Wanyan Xiyin led the pro-army out of the 'heavy encirclement', and saw that there were only 100 people around him, and the others were all trapped in the melee, and the pro-soldiers who escorted Han's body were also lost.

"Bitter, bitter..."Wanyan Xiyin walked less than a hundred steps, and heard the sound of surging water, and with a lightning bolt, he fixed his eyes on the sleeping water in front of him, and countless golden soldiers in the river were still crossing the river, fighting for their lives with God, they rushed for a long time and turned back to the battlefield, and could only lament that their lives were bitter.

"Blow the trumpet, gather the troops and fight again!" Wanyan Xi Yin knew that it was at this time whether he could rush out of the Lu Dao, and when the Song army reacted and the reinforcements of the brigade arrived, it would be even more difficult to get out of the Lu Dao, he ordered.

The sound of the horn spread through the rain and fog throughout the battlefield, and the Jin troops scattered everywhere heard the sound of the horn and gathered here while fighting.

"Supervisor, the deputy marshal is surrounded under the river embankment in front!" At this time, a centurion gathered and reported to Wanyan Xiyin.

"Come with me, go and save the deputy marshal!" Wanyan Xiyin led the hundreds of people who had just gathered to kill over there, and rushed to Wanyan Zongqi's horse in a chaotic battle.

But when Yan Xiyin saw the scene in front of him, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, this Zongxuan was really good, and there were still one hundred and ten pack horses in his team, all of which were books, calligraphy and paintings and all kinds of treasures collected from the Bianjing Palace, and it was difficult for him to cross the three rivers with these many things.

"Don't worry about those things outside of you, and go with us!" Wanyan Xiyin yelled at Zong Xuan.

"Ceres, these are the classics of the past dynasties collected by the Southern Dynasty, they are very rare, how can they be abandoned!" Wanyan Zongqi is still reluctant, although he was born in the mountains, he admires the Central Plains culture very much, and after breaking through Bianjing, he specifically asked for these things, and took Zhao Ji's heart and liver treasures as his own.

"I'll lead the army to open the way, and you will follow!" Wanyan Xiyin sighed, he knew the temper of this master, it seemed that he was desperate to bring these things back, thinking about the fact that Han Li's body was still unknown, and he felt sad again.

It was another vicious battle, but when Yan Xiyin came out again, at this time, the rain stopped, and a half-curved crescent moon was exposed in the air. Helplessly, he led his troops into the battle again to look for it, but after a long time, he didn't know where he was coerced.

"Prison army, there is a large group of Song troops in front of you, and it will be too late if you don't leave!" That's when someone came to report.

"Go east and fight your way out!" Facing the morning light in the east, Wanyan Xiyin saw a large army galloping forward, and there were many Song troops on the other side of the river chasing up, after a night of fierce fighting, they were already sleepy and tired, looking at the battlefield is still a mess, and I don't know how many people have successfully broken through...

Wanyan Xiyin ran out of twenty miles in a fit of anger before stopping, while he ordered people to find the lost soldiers, and at the same time ordered the troops to hurry up and recuperate, looking at the sparse and tired soldiers around him, he couldn't restrain himself for a while, sadness came from it, and tears rippled.

I think how majestic it was that hundreds of thousands of troops went south to Bianjing that day, but now they have lost their armor, are embarrassed, and have lost the god of war Lou of the Dajin Kingdom, the second prince Han is also killed in a foreign land, Wanyan Zongxuan does not know his whereabouts, life and death are unknown, and the army has suffered countless losses, I don't know how many people in Ludao can get home safely...
